==History==
Adventureland opened in on October 1, 1971 with three attractions, The - the [[Tropical Serenade]], The the [[Jungle Cruise ]] and the [[Swiss Family tree houseTreehouse]], as well as the Safari Arcade (which wound up closing by 1972) <ref> http://www. The original theme of Adventureland focused omniluxe.net/wyw/safari.htm </ref>. Originally based on the 1950's view of exotic adventure<ref> http://www. Lush examiner.com/article/memories-of-the-magic-kingdom-adventureland </ref>, Adventureland's lush vegetation, tribal music and Pacific architecture gave the land a “jungle like” feel. Change quickly came to Adventureland however, when in 1973 Caribbean Plaza was built housing the popular dark ride “Pirates of the Caribbean. Caribbean Plaza expanded on the theme of Adventureland, and gave the land more of an island feel then a jungle one.
More change came to The focal point of Adventureland in 1991 When the Tropical Serenade was replaced The Sunshine Pavilion, which was sponsored by The Enchanted Tiki Room (Under New Management)the Florida Citrus Growers from 1971 until 1986. The new attraction pavilion itself was similar to made up of a Balinese pagoda (which marked the entrance of the Tropical Serenade but it featured a new plot with Iago (From Aladdin) and Zazu (from the Lion King) taking over as owners [[Sunshine Tree Terrace]], home of both the Tiki Room. Another major expansion came to Adventureland in 2001. Take inspiration from Citrus Swirl and the Disney movie Aladdin, Arabian Village was built. This new section of Adventureland is home to Florida Orange Grower's mascot the ride The Magic Carpets of AladdinOrange Bird. The Magic Car[pets Just outside of Aladdin is similar to the popular Dumbo attraction in Fantasyland in that Sunshine Tree Terrace, from 1971 until 2000 guests can “fly” on could find the carpets but with option to choose how high or low they fly. Besides just giving Adventureland a new attraction, Sunshine Tree that gave the Arabian Village expansion also once again changed the theme of Adventurelandsnack bar its namesake <ref> http://www.

The most recent change came to Adventureland in 2011 when the Enchanted Tiki Room (Under New Management) was replaced by Walt Disney's Enchanted Tiki Roomnet/wyw/stt. The show was changed back to a slightly edited version of the original Disneyland Tropical Serenadehtm </ref>.
The original theme of the land was quickly expanded with the addition of "Caribbean Plaza". The new area opened to guests in 1973 and was built to house the popular dark ride [[Pirates of the Caribbean]]. Although Disney had initially not planned on building Pirates of the Caribbean, guest demand necessitated the quick construction of a copy of the popular Disneyland attraction <ref> http://jimhillmedia.com/editor_in_chief1/b/jim_hill/archive/2001/01/01/274.aspx </ref>. Other additions shortly followed, when the House of Treasure shop, the Plaza del sol Caribe and the Caribbean Arcade <ref> http://www.omniluxe.net/wyw/ca.htm </ref> <ref> http://passport2dreams.blogspot.com/2006/08/caribbean-plaza-romance-of-tropics.html </ref> opened. . Pirates of the Caribbean eventually opened to guests December 15, 1973 <ref> http://www.wdwmagic.com/attractions/pirates-of-the-caribbean.htm </ref>. Besides adding an immensely popular attraction to the land, Caribbean Plaza also gave Adventureland island aesthetics that it did not previously have. Also of note, is the fact that prior to the construction of Caribbean plaza Adventureland and [[Frontierland]] did not connect. By extending Adventureland back towards Frontierland, Caribbean plaza allowed guests to travel between the two lands <ref> https://www.mouseplanet.com/9576/Visiting_the_Magic_Kingdom_in_1971 </ref>.
